    Israel HLS 2012
     
     
    Today’s society is more complicated than ever before, with people dependent on complex infrastructures, traveling widely, and gathering in crowded places. Recent history teaches us that terror can suddenly disrupt our lives, striking anywhere and anytime. This is the challenge to homeland security and it has never been greater: We need better means to prevent and respond to physical and cyber terror – and crime and natural disaster too – and better ways to maintain public order in time of emergency.
     
    The 2nd International Conference on Homeland Security was created to address these challenges. It will bring together government officials, public authorities and HLS industry leaders from around the world to share their knowledge and experience.
     
    Israel HLS 2012 will focus on today’s key homeland security issues: Cyber security, securing smart cities, critical infrastructure protection and emergency preparedness. Attendees will learn how to enhance security by integrating operational know-how with the advanced tools necessary to deal with emerging threats.

    Focal Areas
      
    Cyber Security
     
    Attacks on cyber networks, rapidly growing in number and sophistication, have become one of the most serious economic and national security threats.
     
     
    Securing the Smart City
     
    Urban residents, now more than 50 percent of the world’s population and far more in the western economies, must be protected from home-grown and imported terror.
     
     
    Critical Infrastructure Protection
     
    Air and sea ports, power plants, electricity grids and gas pipelines need the enhanced protection that can be provided by public and private sector collaboration.
     
     
    Emergency Management
     
    Effective preparation, response, and recovery are the key aspects of emergency management that will save lives and minimize property damage.
